"I love her and that's the beginning and of everything." - F. Scott Fitzgerald
Women are complicated, unique, and extraordinary creatures with an endless amount of love to give away. We may not always be easy to understand and we are well aware of that, but that doesn't mean you should give up trying. Whether you are in a relationship with a woman or pursuing one, this is what you need to know:
1. We need to feel loved on a daily basis
This has nothing to do with a woman being too clingy or too needy, it's simply the truth about us. You can say 'I love you' a thousand times a day and it still wouldn't be enough. Sure, it's nice to hear and we appreciate that you say it, but actions will always speak louder than words. Bring her flowers, surprise her with a dinner date, offer to watch her favorite movie with her, write her a short love note, pretty much anything that will show her how much you love her. It doesn't need to be a grand gesture, it just needs to be enough to put a smile on her face.
2. Don't try to fix our problems, try to understand them
We might come home at the end of the day and be on the brink of tears because of the day we've had, and we will most likely want to vent about it. However, all we want you to do is to listen and to understand why we are so upset. We don't need you to tell us what we could've or should've done to avoid those problems, we don't need you to fix us. If you want to help us and make us feel better, simply remind us that you are on our side and always will be.
3. Never stop being romantic
Romance is alive and booming at the beginning of almost every relationship. This is most likely because you want to prove to her that you are good enough for her and will do anything to make her happy. However, as time goes on, this tends to dwindle and can leave your relationship stuck in a rut. The truth is this: women will ALWAYS want romance. Since most of you don't seem to care much about romance, you may think we don't notice when you stop making an effort, but we do. We take notice of every little thing you do and don't do for us. Buy her a card for every Valentine's Day, anniversary, and birthday you celebrate with her. You don't need to spend a lot of money on her; instead, simply show her you're excited to go out to dinner with her or celebrate an anniversary with her. Remember, it's the little things that count.
4. If we overreact to something, it's not because we're "crazy"
We may get angry at you and raise our voice at you. You may do something that you don't think is a big deal and suddenly, you are being screamed at by us. I know how this may seem to you and I understand why you don't always get it. But here's the thing: if we act in a way that seems "crazy" or "psychotic" to you, it's because the reaction is coming from a deeper place. It's coming from a place of frustration and pain, and maybe it has something to do with the way you've been treating us lately. Maybe we feel as though we're not being heard and our only option is to shout at you. Maybe if you listen, really listen to us, you will understand where we are coming from.
5. Understand our worth and don't take us for granted
Overall, we just want to know we are a priority for you. We want to know we are at the top of your list and that you will do anything and everything to make us happy. We need to know that your love for us is and always will be stronger than anything else in this world. This may seem one-sided to you, but if you prove to us how much you love us, we will make it all worth your while. Our vulnerability may hold us back because we never want to seem weak, but the truth is, we would do anything for you. We are known for our loyalty and our compassion, and we are willing to give you every little piece of us if you understand our worth.
Once she becomes your world, you'll realize you've always been hers.
